Man receives £42,000 bill for data roaming charges after Morocco holiday

Andrew Alty thought O2 bill was a mistake, but daughter's TikTok use allowed massive uncapped charges to accrue

A small business owner was left facing a 42,000 bill that he said nearly bankrupted him after his daughter racked up data roaming charges while the family were on holiday in Morocco.

Andrew Alty, who owns a curtains business, was in Marrakech when he received a bill for 22,000 from network provider O2, but at first he assumed it was a mistake.
